If you're seldom bothered by the chill of cold weather, then your body may run warm, in which case, green teas, lightly oxidized oolongs and raw puerh may fit you a bit better.

While it of course is not sacrilege to drink other types of tea, it’s just recommended to do so less frequently. The colder weather will help pronounce the taste, aroma, and feeling of tea.

You may find yourself enjoying red, roasted oolong teas, and ripe puerh more in the winter than you would in the spring.

Experiment for yourself and discover how tea makes you feel, and how it affects the temperature of your body. You might be surprised how pronounced the effects are from certain teas.
